On today’s episode of Homeworthy, we’re bringing taking you inside architect James Carter’s breathtaking Birmingham, Alabama home. Having a deep affinity for architectural design since his early childhood, James built his home with an approach similar to crafting a custom suit – tailored perfectly to house a lifetime’s worth of cherished collections. Inside you’ll find magnificent structural details that form a sense of continuity throughout each space. Lined with his vast assemblage of books, Egyptian revival furnishings, and relics inherited from his family and travels, James has created a beautiful home that is a time capsule of his life. Enjoy!

    What a lovely house, what a nice owner. In that house you could lock me in for days and days and I would just sit somewhere with a coffee or a cocktail and a book , look around and never get bored. Beautiful!!

    Love the images of the previous slave holders throughout this white man’s palace all dressed up. How come all of you rich, unconscious, stuck in the racist past Southerners never show the slave quarters?

    This is my favorite home tour out of all of them! This man had great taste!

  4. Elaine Koska on August 29, 2023 at 7:24 pm

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. I love your descriptions and history of your pieces.

  7. RustyGateCottage on August 29, 2023 at 7:31 pm

    This home is so beautiful done. I too love bookcases everywhere. This home is so beautiful collected and I love that it tells the owner’s story instead of being a showcase. Love it!!

  8. Edward Fernandez on August 29, 2023 at 7:31 pm

    Excellent, very touchy presentation! We all enjoyed it very much, and got new working ideas! We appreciate your hard work. Thanks for sharing!😊

    Jane should have chosen a better color for the dining room…

  13. Insane and Vain on August 29, 2023 at 7:35 pm

    Beautiful home ..inside and out

  14. Anders on August 29, 2023 at 7:40 pm

    Clever gentleman ❤

  15. My Happy Nest on August 29, 2023 at 7:42 pm

    Wow this home is spectacular! Warm and cozy and elegant and sophisticated. In other words, perfect!❤️

  16. Mmabatho* on August 29, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    This is a beautiful house and a gripping house tour❤

  17. Michael Wood Bodley on August 29, 2023 at 7:45 pm

    What a beautiful home! So many interesting objects wonderfully arranged.

  18. Khaki Fiorini on August 29, 2023 at 7:46 pm

    What’s the "very interesting history" of the painting? Don’t leave us hanging! Roll Tide!

  19. David Bell on August 29, 2023 at 7:47 pm

    I’m so glad you didn’t listen to silly decorators. They always dry to indict their taste instead of enhancing yours…the Clients.

  20. Margie Chism on August 29, 2023 at 7:48 pm

    Wonderful ■ thank you for sharing your work and collection; Jane also is a keeper!

  21. KAYE MCMULLEN on August 29, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    Charming both the homes and the owner.

  22. The Listening Doctor on August 29, 2023 at 7:49 pm

    I was so inspired by his authenticity and warmth. This home is warm welcoming and beautifully furnished.

  23. Cindy S on August 29, 2023 at 7:52 pm

    What are some of your favorite books?

  24. Jerry Jones on August 29, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    Fantastic! We live in France and have an eighteenth century house but you have inspired me to do more decorating. Hope you will visit us in the countryside of the Mayenne, the northern part of the Loire region. We have several antique shops nearby and many places one can find old french treasures. I really enjoyed your home. Magnifique!

  25. Amber Tree on August 29, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    These are the type of homes that make my mouth water, my eye candy. Enough of the quintessential maximalist English and traditional American, a bit of modern, classy but cozy, and everything encompassing the heart of the owner. This guy is my hero. I love this home.

  26. Rita Montesalvo on August 29, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    Beautiful house , very elegant & also so cosy .

  27. Dean Hickey on August 29, 2023 at 7:53 pm

    Wow. I’d like to write something profound and memorable, but I’ll simply say I have met my double. The man, the career, the house, the collections, and even the fact he lives alone amongst his things. I have rarely met with such a close representation of all that I am. I have a large apartment and every room has a bookcase or three, and I keep importing lots of antiques and such. The only difference is I do love to cook, and oddly enough, for that reason I prefer a small, intimate space in which to do so. I have never been a fan of grand kitchens…and most grand houses leave me with a strange desire to seek comfort by standing in a corner of the room. This house looks just perfect.

  28. Maureen Taylor on August 29, 2023 at 7:54 pm

    I so enjoyed your home. You have a wonderful eye for detail.I also have an English 1784 grandfather clock. Yes, the back of my clock has nail holes. You are the first person who admitted nailing his clock to the wall.

  29. Susan Blanche on August 29, 2023 at 7:56 pm

    Things looked rich

  30. todd hupp on August 29, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    really nice tour.Thank You

  31. Sharon on August 29, 2023 at 7:57 pm

    Beautiful home. Southern gentleman.

  32. bridget _lisar on August 29, 2023 at 7:58 pm

    Gorgeous home. I love his accent and probably the bedroom and his dressing room. Makes you want to snuggle up with a good book 🩵

  33. Debbie Anne on August 29, 2023 at 7:58 pm

    Love this style of decor and appreciate it took him 30 years with the help of decorator friend Jane to create this finished perfectly arranged home! One of my Top 3! Jane, if you’re listening, love your style! Come to my house please…

  34. Tammie Echo on August 29, 2023 at 8:00 pm

    This entire home is like a cozy, warm hug. I would never want to leave.

  35. Sharon Kay Snowton on August 29, 2023 at 8:01 pm

    James Carter has a beautiful home. I love his library.

  36. Pretty Lady on August 29, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    I love your home James and you gave a fabulous tour! Your home is so well done it looks like it has been there for generations. I completely understand your love of bringing your family into your home with photos and heirlooms! Absolutely stunning!

  37. Anne on August 29, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    "Unless you’re on the run under the FBI relocation program, it’s good to have things from your past". Love this tour, the home, the owner, everything!

  38. rosie abreu on August 29, 2023 at 8:02 pm

    Beautiful home. I truly enjoyed how James was very particular yet intentional explaining and narrating the history behind how all came together.

  39. David McNicol on August 29, 2023 at 8:03 pm

    I love this guy and his sense of humour. His home is exquisitely elegant, but not pretentious. Absolutely beautiful. ❤❤❤

  40. Gladys Perez on August 29, 2023 at 8:04 pm

    I love that he says: “I’m a colector “

  42. Grandma g on August 29, 2023 at 8:05 pm

    Oh my,five seconds into the video I was in love

  43. Janet Birkmann on August 29, 2023 at 8:06 pm

    Thank you! I previously commented that I thought too much camera time was spent on the speaker and that the glimpses of the home itself were too fleeing – BUT – this video shows VAST improvement! Thank you, again! I only have time to watch the first 10 minutes this morning but I can already see you are giving a lot more extended camera time to the home and objects! Great!

  44. Moss Mokwena on August 29, 2023 at 8:08 pm

    Best house to come out from homeworthy absolutely by far 🙌🔥👌

  45. TKS on August 29, 2023 at 8:10 pm
